Software Engineer · 3+ years

I build software people actually keep using.

I lead frontend engineering at FenixPyre by day, and build Yigloo- an ecosystem of AI-powered apps - nights and weekends. I care about software that quietly earns a place in someone's day, not another install that gets deleted a week later.

Software Engineer — Frontend Lead & Backend Engineer

FenixPyre · Data Security Startup · Remote · Ohio, US

Mar 2023 — Present · 3+ yrs
  • Led the Egnyte integration's authentication migration from static to rotating tokens, designing a full token lifecycle system on LoopBack and Google Cloud Tasks — shipped ahead of the vendor's deprecation deadline with zero disruption for ~45% of customers and ~10,000 encrypted files.
  • Built full-stack analytics dashboards (React, Chart.js, Express, InfluxDB), including a file inventory table with search, filtering, and server-side pagination tuned to handle 2M+ records.
  • Led a 3-engineer frontend team through two critical sprints, owning code review, timelines, and release coordination — 100% of planned features shipped on schedule, plus audio file support delivered beyond scope.
  • Designed a TypeScript SIEM event collection library adopted across 3 backend services and 2 frontends, forming the data foundation for the platform's security analytics.
  • Introduced a spec-driven, AI-assisted engineering workflow — a per-repo documentation layer that doubles as a local MCP server, giving coding agents persistent project context.
  • Built an AI chatbot (OpenAI, LangChain, Pinecone) that lets users query file access logs in natural language, and rewrote its backend from JavaScript to Python — improving accuracy and increasing supported file size by 200%.

Frontend Intern

  • Owned SEO end-to-end for a Next.js content platform - live RSS feed, dynamic per-article SEO, and social preview metadata - improving performance by 75% and cutting running costs by 90%.
  • Built the customer, manager, and employee apps for a vehicle service management ecosystem in React Native and React, with biometric login, job tracking, and slot management, for a project that went on to raise $12M in pre-seed funding.
